Again,8 it is a great Mystery ▪ oif compared to all other Mysteries. Creation was a great Mystery; for all things to be made out of nothing; ⟨p. 38⟩order, out of confusion; for God to make man a glorious creature, of the dust of the earth, it was a great matter: but what is this in comparison, for God to be made man? It was a great and wondrous thing, for Israel to be delivered out of Egypt and Babylon: but what are those, to the deliverance out of Hell, and damnation, by the Gospel? What are the Mysteries of Nature, the Miracles of Nature, the Lodestone, &c. to these supernatural Mysteries? There are Mysteries in the providence of God, in governing the World; Mysteries of Satan, Mysteries of iniquity, that deceive the World: the wise men of the World all wonder at the Beast; a Great Mystery: but what are all Mysteries, either of Nature, or Hell, to this Great Mystery? I might be endless in the point.
